Project Manager with Business Analyst SkillLocation: Central London (Strand)Salary: Up to £45,000Benefits: Excellent benefits including bonus scheme, private health cover, pensionReports to: Head of DevelopmentOverview

Working within the software development team, and sharing projects and responsibilities with another BA/PM, your role spans the range of products and service offerings. Projects are often data-centric. Our products include an ever evolving trading system and an audio delivery system both with complex user stories.

The role is client-facing (though many projects are internally driven) and includes business analysis, requirements specification, project management and account management.

While some parts of the business operate along Agile lines, some others have yet to transition to these leaner processes. You will have a key role in being able to shape working practices.

The Role

Capture and analyse needs of (internal and external) customers, helping them to assess the impact of change and know what's possible

Working with the developers, define solutions (in terms of user behaviour) which meet the needs of the customer.

With the Head of Development and other Project Manager, shape projects (consider priorities/phasing/agile structure/commercial constraints).

Manage the delivery of projects, communicating effectively with the customer

Review the service we offer; proactively make clients aware of services we can offer them.

You'll have solid project management experience working in a small-medium sized business working on a number of software development projects simultaneously, so you'll know all about the need to prioritise!

You'll have shown good results in delivering software projects through the full project life cycle

Your communication and facilitation skills are excellent

You'll be familiar with (though not necessarily qualified in) agile project management methodologies such as Scrum

you will have worked alongside developers on web development projects previously (but software skills are not required)

You're interested in working with data and are capable of doing so

You'll get a decent PC or laptop with peripherals to suit your way of working.

We have a generous budget for employee education - so whether online learning or traditional courses help you best, or you'd just prefer to trawl Amazon for books to help you learn, we will support your advancement.

We will never hold you back from taking on more responsibility if you are capable.

We are perfectly positioned for the cafés, pubs, restaurants and shops, with great tube, bus and rail links. Or if you would prefer to cycle, there's room for your bike.
